Intel (http://www.intel.com) has announced an advance in the quest to use light beams to replace the use of electrons to carry data in and around computers. The company has developed a research prototype representing the world’s first silicon-based optical data connection with integrated lasers.

The link can move data over longer distances and many times faster than today’s copper technology; up to 50GB of data per second. This is the equivalent of an entire HD movie being transmitted each second.
